Kind of.
It'd be better if new drivers used sta_rate_tbl_update method, so it'd
be something like
1) don't set HAS_RATE_CONTROL
2) implement sta_rate_tbl_update(), using the table of rates given
there to instruct the device to transmit frames at those rates
3) on TX success/failure, fill in a struct ieee80211_rate_status array
that indicates which rates were used and how many times until the
eventual success or failure; this is in struct ieee80211_tx_status
3) alternatively, fill in the tx_info rates array the same way and
report it that way, but that's less flexible
